Hindus
believe that after we die, we are reborn. We continue to be
reborn until we find God. The only thing that comes with us when
we die and are reborn is our character. If we are clever we are
reborn as clever.

Can we be reborn as a butterfly?

It might be fun to be born as a butterfly, but it is not
likely. We start by being born as a lower life form, but
then over many life times we are slowly reborn as higher and
higher beings until we become human. It would be difficult
to be reborn as a butterfly after being a human being.

The Law of Karma

Hindus
say that whatever we do will produce results, these results
cannot be avoided. This is called the Law
of Karma. For
example if we work hard in school we become clever, if we do
bad things we get punished. The Law of Karma says that this
cannot be avoided. We are responsible for everything we do
and what will happen to us. Everything we do produces some
results that cannot be avoided. This is why we have to be
careful about even the smallest thing we do. If we do good
things, good results will follow. If we do wrong things, bad
things are bound to catch up with us.

Different ways to reach God

Hindus say that all religions are different ways to reach God. No
one religion is better than any other. To say that all religions
take us to the same God is called
Pluralism.
There are different ways to reach God within Hinduism itself.
Some people are very clever and like to find God by reasoning
alone. There are some who like to reach God through love. Others
like to meditate and find God. While there are some who like to
reach God by doing good deeds. Hindus are free to choose the way
or ways they want to use to reach God. As we are all different and
have different characters and abilities we choose different ways
to reach God.
